Queenstown (Tasmania) railway station

Queenstown in Western Tasmania has had two railway stations. The original was built for the railway built for the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company, and lasted until the closing of the railway line in 1962. The newer station was built for the re-built railway, the West Coast Wilderness Railway.[1]

The newer station had specifically an all-weather roof and large structure building around the station, the earlier station was short on weather protection in its earlier years [2]
